The RP FLIP is a ship designed to sink. Technically it isn't a ship but a barge loaded with sensors that can tilt up and float vertically with most of it submerged, to take measurements of the ocean. Its interior has two orientations; its bathroom, for example, has a commode on the floor but also one mounted sideways on the wall for when the vessel goes vertical.
